Names of pupils who were in the 1934 Entry

from School Records

The school records are completely missing for the 1934 entry. Published Entrance Scholarship results for this year should give us a fairly good idea of the pupils who entered Form 1. But it would include the names of boys who declined their places, or moved away from the area. On the other hand the list excludes those boys who entered the school by transfer from another area.

The following table gives the names of the top 80 boys in the scholarship pass list in rank order. The school normally took no more than 66 boys into Form 1, so the list should include all those eligible for entrance, (and more), and is the best estimate for the 1934 entry.
